    hi,

    3.5 inches is the size of a disk for desktop computers

    2.5 inches is the size of a disk for laptops

    to know what to use, you need to check the documentation. And generally, 2.5-inch enclosures don’t have an external power supply; it's the USB that provides the power

    best regards
